Apple Mouse only scrolls in one direction after 10.6.8 update

I just updated to 10.6.8 security update, itunes and safari update (I think?) Can't remember now. The update was 10-4-11.
My Apple mouse now only scrolls in one direction. I thought is was dirty and it is not. There are posted issues with this safarie update with mouse related problems, however I am experiencing them in all programs.
Rebooted several times, re-cleaned mouse scroll ball, did the paper trick by cleaning. No success.
I can scroll down but not up. It forces me to grab the scroll bar and manually drag the scrolling window.
Again ALL programs. Was just fine right before the update. Now a problem after

My Apple wireless mouse only scrolls one way. I've tried cleaning the

My Apple wireless mouse only scrolls one way. Any ideas on how I can set it up so it scrools up and down?

I am having the same problem also. I've tried cleaning the ball, but still not working. This happened a couple of times before....and by accident I hit some button and it started working again. So frustrating........sorry I'm not any help. Just venting.

Google iPad Sync Microsoft Exchange - Sync only works in One Direction

I have setup my iPad to sync with Google calendar using Microsoft Exchange, which supposes to work bidirectionally.
I found that it only works in one direction such that anything in my Google calendar (includes all the subscribed calendars in Google) got sync to my iPad. After I add a new event in my Google calendar, it is pushed to my iPad.
On the other hand, any new event I add to my iPad calendar is not updated and shown in my Google calendar. This means the sync works only in one direction:
Google Calendar Event --- sync ---> iPad (works perfectly and the event is pushed almost pushed instantly)
iPad Calendar Event. --- sync ---> Google Calendar << FAILED >> (Event entered to my iPad never shows in the Google Calendar)
Sync works unidirectionally but not bidirectionally
Anyone has encounter this problem and is there any solution?

I am having the same problem. Would be good to have a solution.

I don't think the solutions here are for the question that's posed.
I have an Exchange account set up on my iPhone 4. I want my Exchange calendar to sync with my Google calendar. I set up Google Sync, and I can see both calendars. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the two calendars to sync with each other. i.e., if I create an event on my iPhone, it doesn't push to both calendars. I have to pick one or the other.
The solution Stanley Wong suggested only sets Google as your default calendar; it doesn't actually sync the calendar events between the Exchange and the Google calendars. Unless I missed something?
Is there a solution for actually syncing the two calendars with each other? It seems like we should be able to create an event on the iPhone and have it sync to both phones without having to have Outlook open on a PC and using Google Calendar Sync to do that.

JSplitPane - Divider only moves to one direction.

Hi!
I've got a question concerning a JSplitPane I'm using in my program. I add an objecte to each of my sides. On the left I have a Canvas3d (from Java3d) and on the right a JPanel.
Now my problem is, that the divider only moves to one direction. I've made it oneTouchExpandable and I've set the dividerLocation to 80%.
An earlier posting says, I have to set the minimumSize of my components, but my Canvas3d (inherits from a AWT-Canvas) doesn't have the method Canvas.setMinimumSize(Dimension);
Does anybody see a way out of this? Thanks for any help,
joerg

Hi Armyguy:
To calibrated the screen. Go to all programs find this file. PC Help &Tools click it and then click on HP Calibrations Utility click yes in next screen. You can also find it this way. In computers program search box type in HP Calibrations Utility and run it.
You may also have a bad malware run your Antivirus software scan as well. See if that detects and deletes any thing. If you have Microsoft Security Essential its scan. If not it is free , It detects and moves malware what antivirus do not pickup on Down Loaded from MSN.com. You also want to check your keyboard and see if some thing is pressing the keys. I know that some times if I have something laying on the keyboard it effects the mouse. You can also troubleshoot the mouse in HP Support Assistant . Open up HP Support Assistant click Troubleshoot then click around the computer Cilck on Keyboard and Mouse and other devices tab. Both mouse and keyboard are listed.

Can only connect from one direction

I'm having trouble video confrencing... I tried searching the forums, but I'm having trouble thinking of clever search terms.
I can only connect from one direction with one person. They can invite me to a chat and it works fine every time. However when I invite them it always fails. I can invite other people and it works fine though.
This doesn't seem like a typical router problem, because they can invite me and we videochat just fine.
This has been a problem for most versions of iChat that I can remember, but I'm using 3.1.5 currently.

Hi

Problem: Bookmark sync only works in one direction

I have 2 computer, computer A has vista and computer B is a netbook with XP. The problem is that the bookmark sycn only works in one direction.
For example: both my computer has the same book marks (previously sync with X-mark which is now disabled). I decided to do some clean up on computer B. If Y sync computer A, nothing happens, but when I sync computer B, all the cleanup I made has been undone since computer A override all the changes I made to B.
In other words, the changes I made to B can never be applied to A.

When you're doing a "clean-up" like that you need to use '''Reset Sync''' in Tools > Options > Sync - Current Account = Manage Account and use the ''' ''Replace all other devices with this computer's data'' ''' option. See the attached screenshot - use the third option.

Hotsync only works in one direction

I recently shifted from a PC on XP to an Imac on OSX 10.5.
I have a Tungsten E and have Palm Desktop 4.2.1 installed on the Imac, with Open at Login activated.
Hotsync seems to run well, with no error messages in the log, but on looking at the result, sync'ing of the calendar has only gone in one direction. A new entry in my handheld has transferred to the Imac, but a new entry on the Imac has not appeared on the handheld. This never happened with the PC, in that any new entry was sync'ed, irrespective of where it was entered.
Any suggestions to make this work in both directions will be gratefully received! Thanks, JohnP

Thanks for the response.
I went to the Hotsync manager and then to Conduit manager as suggested.
Interestingly, while it is set at a default of "Synchronize the files", the "Last Hot Sync" entry was "never" - for all entries, not just calendar.
This despite the fact that when I have connected the handheld and Imac via the USB cable, I get the messages on both that sync'ing is proceeding. And there are no error messages.
It seems that something else is preventing me from sync'ing.
Any further suggestions? John

Logitech G400 mouse wheel only works in one direction

Hi All,
I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 15" version and I plugged my almost new Logitech G400 into it and I notice that the scroll wheel on the mouse only seems to work in one direction. I've installed the logitech gaming drivers, but there aren't arent scrolling options in there, so I suspect that it's Mac OS that's to blame here.
By default it was only allowing me to scroll to the top of the page by scrolling the wheel down. I've since reversed this, so that when I scroll down, I move down the page - the problem being if I scroll to far I then have to use the trackpad. As stated, I have tested the mouse as working in a Windows 7 machine, so I suspect this is a problem caused by the OS.
Has anyone experienced this issue and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Craig

Doing what they did in the video is fine - up to a point. After a while however the clogging gets so bad the method shown won't work anymore. Dampening the cloth helps somewhat, but not for long.
Mine finally got in this condition so I took it to my local Apple Store. The Genius there cleaned it with a surgical swab (the type the nurse wipes your arm with when about to stick a hypodermic needle in it). Did a good job too. The Genius had a supply of about 200 with him and let me have a few.
I have found that this is the only lasting way to clean the roller. But it doesn't stay clean forever of course and also I eventually ran out of the gratis swabs.
Since I ran out of these swabs my mouse has gummed up all over again. In fact it has been like this for so long now that I have abandoned it in favour of the Magic Mouse. I only use it now when booted into Safe Mode or from a Boot CD as the Magic Mouse doesn't work in these situations.
Yes, I know the Magic Mouse is a tad more expensive than a box of surgical swabs, but have you tried going into your local Chemists and asking for these surgical swabs lately?. The idiots won't sell you any because they assume that you are a junky and only want them for injecting yourself! I kid you not.

Mouse Track Ball only working in one direction

Hello,
My Mighty Mouse is 3 months old and now the track ball is only working in one dircetion.
When I move the ball forward I hear the distinct sound and the scroll bar on e.g. Safari moves, but when I reverse there is no movement on the screen.
I don't hear the same sound as when I move the track ball forward.
I have tried to reboot but no improvement.
Have someone seen teh same issue? Is the solution to simply replace the mouse?
Thanks / Christer

HT201321 my Apple wireless keyboad and Mouse dosent work since one Month after geting the new iMac 27 !Would getting the Osx 10.7.Bluetooth utility repaired after updating onto 10.7.5 & Admin Tools 10.7.5 ?

Hi Dears
My Apple wireless Mouse and keyboard dose not work since one Month after getting the new iMac 27 !
The Bluetooth assistant could find the Devices for few seconds but can not pairing them ? at least get an error
Operation system is already of version 10.7.5 updated ,but no use ?!
Could getting the Os x 10.7.5 Bluetooth utility repaired after updating to Admin Tools 10.7.5 ?
When not ,than advice me please to repair or solving this problem ,

Your problem is likely due to
com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard 5.9.1
I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

Mouse only working in one USB slot

This is more of an anoyance than a problem. I've recently purchaced a Logitech wireless mouse. It has one of those dongle things that you plug into the USB port. The only problem is, that it only works in the one port (one closest to the power). This happens in OS X and in Windows XP. I've tried it on an indentical machine and it works in both. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Oh, memory sticks / usb hdds etc work in both slots fine...
Thanks in advance for any help...

Ok, after reading a few other posts on here I did the SMC reset thing (take out battery and hold power button down). When I booted up the mouse worked in both slots. After a re-start it's back to the same place again, only working in one slot. Any advice on what I should do next?
